Refused

Félicitations

Hi there, I think a typical funding package in McGill is about 18K for Phd, comprised of TAships and scholarship. It is much lower for master's (because of underfunding by the province)

I will wait for the 11th with impatience! Not the end of the world as I have already been admitted to UdeM for PhD (my second choice) with a 20K funding.

Thanks HopefulComparativist

As much as I would have loved to believe this, I know for a fact that McGill has already extended Phd admissions and rejections to several people and they are probably waiting for their responses before delving into 50 something people waiting in their long waitlist! That is the information that I have

Any news from your side Raketa?

Well, I talked to the lady who responds to the messages in UApply!

That is what I was expecting as well, but the lady said you can simply assume that you're in the waitlist if you haven't heard anything as of yet, which is really strange! I think I have lost my hope of being admitted! If I did, it would simply be a miracle. There're about 50 people in the waitlist! This is just nuts! I have never seen this in any programme

I think you're talking about Master's applications. Mine is about PhD

Well, the lady working at the admissions said if you have neither been refused, nor accepted by now, then you are waitlisted. You will hear a definite answer on March 25th! And a lot of people are waitlisted! A lot! Are you in the same situation for McGill?

Well, because of him and a few other professors that I can work with if he is not available. It appears to be one of the few universities in Canada for Middle Eastern political economy. What is your first choice and research interest?

Hi there, Comparative politics (Middle Eastern politics).

And this suspense and uncertainty are torturing me, especially given the fact that this is my first choice. Can we do something (like sending an additional letter detailing our interest, as some websites recommend) to highlight our interest? The department gets only 12 candidates per year and quite a lot of people are already in the waitlist!

Indeed. Not sure how many of you are waiting for McGill's PhD admission results, but it seems that I have seen three rejections and one admission so far on GradCafé. Mine still says "in review". Any McGill applicants out there in the same situation as me?
